The Sociolinguistic Glossary aims to provide a systematized corpus of basic terms and concepts of modern sociolinguistics, which since the second half of the XXth century has been rapidly developing at the junction of various humanities and social sciences and is being replenished with new concepts of an interdisciplinary nature, acquiring and developing its own conceptual and terminological apparatus. The articles of the Sociolinguistic Glossary will be devoted to the most important topical issues of sociolinguistics-language and society, language and nation, interaction of language and culture, bilingualism and multilingualism, language policy and language legislation, language planning, as well as concepts used in sociolinguistics as fundamental: language situation, language policy, language conflict, language contact, methods of sociolinguistic research, etc. Special attention in the glossary entries will be given to the languages of Russia.

Abstract Building on previous research on the new subfield of Linguistic Landscape (LL), this article adopts a comparative approach to study language policy practices that take place on the ground in East Belgium, a language contact area which is not usually considered conflictive. The research design is both qualitative and quantitative and aimed at overcoming some critical methodological issues. The taxonomy, which distinguishes different types of items in the LL of two municipalities with language facilities, Kelmis and Waimes, has led to a detailed qualitative analysis of the application of the current language legislation.

Language Conflict

This is a collection of 21 essays from the 20th International L.A.U.D. (Linguistic Agency University of Duisburg) Symposium, held from Feb. 28 to March 3, 1995, at the University of Duisburg, Germany. In the words of the editor of the collection, the authors “explore the relations between social, psychological and (socio)linguistic aspects of language contact and language conflict situations both from a theoretical and an applied linguistics perspective” (x). The volume is divided into four sections: “Sociolinguistic and linguistic issues,” “Language policy and language planning,” “Language use and attitudes towards language(s),” and “Code-switching: One speaker, two languages.” Rather than discuss all 21 articles, I will focus on several whose themes are relevant to a number of areas of sociolinguistics.

In spite of the long-term dominance in Britain and Ireland of English, other indigenous languages continue to be spoken, and in relatively recent years several of those languages have benefited not only from a more coherent and supportive language policy but also from significant language legislation. One of the interesting features of these other indigenous languages is that, although strongly associated with rural ‘heartlands’ in the particular jurisdictions with which they are associated, they are also spoken in other parts of those jurisdictions, and, indeed, in other parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland. In this article, the ways in which the concept of territoriality has impacted upon legislation and on broader policy for two of these languages, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, will be considered.

The article focuses on the issue of legislative regulation of linguistic relationships in Ukraine. The ability of a national language to function as a means of consolidation and national identification depends to a large extent on state linguistic policy, political support that the language receives. The state legislation on language is indicative in this regard while it establishes the status of languages, the linguistic model and the linguistic regime. In accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine, the Ukrainian language is a state language in Ukraine. The dynamics of the Ukrainian legislation on languages illustrates the inconsistency of the implementation of this constitutional norm. The article analyzes the milestones of its formation. The content of the basic laws in the sphere of linguistic relationships (Law of the USSR ‘On Languages in the Ukrainian SSR’ (1989), the Law of Ukraine ‘On the Principles of the State Language Policy’ (2012), which is invalid now, and the new Law of Ukraine ‘On the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as a State Language’ (2019)), the socio-political tendencies, that preceded their adoption, their evaluation by tpublic and world community as well as their consequences for linguistic situation in Ukraine are described. The possibility of official bilingualism approving is studied. The article analyzes historical, cultural and political preconditions for the adoption of official bi- or multilingualism by other states, acceptability of this linguistic model for Ukraine and possibility to overcome existing linguistic contradictions.

Este relato é fruto de reflexões que tive na graduação em Ciências Sociais e no Mestrado Acadêmico em Antropologia Social (PPGAS/UFRGS) nos quais me deparei inúmeras vezes com a reflexão da questão das políticas que envolvem a temática ambiental. Entendendo estas experiências como significativas para o desenvolvimento dos estudos ambientais dentro de perspectivas antropológicas, faço uma síntese sobre os principais conceitos a serem tratados em propostas como a de um currículo de estudo. Entre estes conceitos se inserem o de responsabilidade social e ambiental entrando no debate da conferência da ONU sobre “o futuro que queremos”. Riscos ambientais e contaminação também são categorias de importante discursão num programa desse tipo. O debate sobre políticas e democracia traz a tona a análise de políticas ambientais como a de Belo Monte. A contextualização de novos tipos de cidadania, como a ecológica, desperta atenção para novos conceitos como o de sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento sustentável. Esse modelo de trânsitos na política instiga novos debates como o de Conflitos e Justiça Ambientais. Assim como a política em transito adentra a discursão sobre o que são populações tradicionais. A Educação Ambiental aparece nesse sentido como uma dimensão político-pedagógica importante para o desenvolvimento de novos sujeitos capazes de pensar a “política do eu” e as “políticas da natureza”. Por fim, faço uma breve reflexão sobre a produção de uma antropologia vitalista em Tim Ingold relacionando com o rompimento de uma disciplinaridade, empreitada importante ao dialogarmos sobre políticas ambientais.Palavras-Chaves: Ambientalismo. Natureza. Currículo.Environmental Policies : A chance of curriculumAbstract This report is the result of reflections from the period of my undergraduated studies on Social Sciences to masters on Social Anthropology (PPGAS/UFRGS) during which I deal many times with the issue about policies that involve environmental issues. Understanding these experiences as significant for the development of environmental studies within anthropological perspectives, I make a synthesis of the main concepts would be treated in proposals such as a study curriculum. These concepts include the social and environmental responsibility add in the UN conference debate about "the future we want". Environmental risks and contamination are also important categories to discussion in this kind of program. Debate on policies and democracy brings out the analysis of environmental policies such as Belo Monte. Contextualization of new types of citizenship, such as ecological citizenship, arouses attention to new concepts such as sustainability and sustainable development. This model of transits in politics instigates new debates as Conflicts and Environmental Justice. Likewise, the policies in transit enter the discussion about what are traditional populations. In this sense, environmental education appears as an important political and pedagogical dimension to the development of new subjects able to think the “policy of self” and the "policy of nature”. Finally, I make a brief reflection on the production of a vitalist anthropology at Tim Ingold connected to a break of a disciplinary, important approach to dialogue on environmental policies.Keywords: Environmentalism.

The article deals with the problem of security, including personal, which is of an intersectoral and interdisciplinary nature. The authors note that in the modern world this category is studied not only by legal science, which is not able to fully resolve the theoretical issue of legal security problems, but also by a set of other social sciences. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of law enforcement activities in the field of ensuring the security of those sentenced to imprisonment

The Growing Need for Reliable Conceptual Analysis in HRI Studies: The Example of the Term ‘Empathy’

Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the field of HRI uses many concepts typical of the social sciences and humanities, in addition to terms that are usually associated with technology. In this paper, I analyse the problems that arise when we use the term ‘empathy’ to describe and explain the interaction between robots and humans. I argue that this not only raises questions about the possibility of applying this term in situations in which only one of the participants of the interaction is a traditionally understood social subject but also requires answers to questions about such problematic concepts as values and culture.
